Wish I had finished today still one week for me can't believe I'm working till 38 weeks. I was also told I will have to go back for one day after the half term. In talk with bosses trying to get out of going in as that will be the 8th and dd is 10th and if hospital get their way il be induced on the 3rd. I'm so tired today and really can not be arsed to do another week. I am going to go for a pedicure tomorrow I think and iv booked a pregnancy massage for Thursday after work to refresh me for my last day. My friend also does reflexology so hoping I can get her to see me in the half term.

I know its frowned upon but just go sick on the 8th, seems silly to go back one day.

 

[Blueclass]

I know I'm hoping the boss will say don't worry.

 

[love87]

Going back for one day does seem silly, as stephy said I would just call in sick.
I'm 39 weeks today but this baby is going no-where. We are currently taking bets in my house about when she will make an appearance. I reckon June 3rd as my first was that late. They have no intention of inducing me as my first was spontaneous so they think this one will be the same. I'm really cranky and swollen. I'm a nightmare to live with right now.

Finally - on leave
Nearly offered to help out with a deadline a little next week but my boss said 'don't even think about it' lol
Was given a playmat gym thing as a gift from work - how kind! That was the one thing we didn't have yet (I think I must have mentioned that to my boss at some point though and she remembered lol). I brought in lots of chocolates and treats for everyone. Odd feeling that I won't be back there for so long
Had awful guts the last couple of days - will spare ya the details! Partner was absolutely convinced I was going into labour on Thursday night and had to keep reassuring him - he's been panicking since the bump has dropped though - had to do some research to show him that that doesn't mean the baby's coming immediately! Hoping to keep him calm for the next weeks, or he'll be losing his hair with all the stress, poor guy :S
Slightly pissed off as my car has broken down AGAIN... starter motor this time. Doesn't bode well for getting us to hospital. Also don't want to spend yet more money on the damn thing... grr...

Congrats to Redhead too - that's great to hear about your september baby

 

[BabyMaker]

Whoop for mat leave Yorkslass Have you got any plans to fill your days? When pregnant with my first I watched the first few seasons of Downton Abbey when i went on leave which was lovely and relaxing! It almost felt a bit naughty not being at work when i wasnt poorly but soon got used to it

Congrats Redhead

 

[Blueclass]

My mat leave will be next week but then it's half term so I don't really feel like il be having time of. Esp if I go ahead with the induction as that will be the Fri in half term so won't really have a rest as baby will be here. I'm still really really unsure about it and if it's what I want to go through with. I love that il know she will be coming and I can plan but I wanted to do it spontaneously. I have read a few positive stories on induction which have made me feel better but I just don't know.
I'm glad your not working yorklass enjoy it. I wish I left yesterday but there you go. Iv been so tired today and hubby is meant to be on nights but changed to days. I'm so annoyed as I like my time to my self esp the evenings. His not done nights for a while and I start twitching lol when he is at home to much. I feel like my world is closing in on me. Not sure what's wrong with me I'm moody and just want to be left alone. X

 

[YorksLass]

Hang in there blueclass - you'll get to half term soon! And screw the extra day they want you in lol
I've heard some very positive induction stories and conversely some not nice natural labour stories - it's the luck of the draw I guess. If you suddenly decide you don't want it though, even at the last minute, they're not going to force you. Just go with how ya feel. Go with the moodiness too - I cried for about an hour when my car wouldn't start - partner really doesn't understand the hormones thing either lol
For me, I'm just trying to think past the labour to having the baby with us - I'm trying to convince myself that the birth part is just a tiny part of all this and will pass by!

Babymaker, that sounds like a grand idea, some sort of tv series fest... my mother was insisting I should be putting my feet up (literally), what with the swollen ankles haha - good excuse for some films or something. And then of course, I should probably organise the house or... something... o.o
I should make lists... my brain's gone squishy lately!

Hi girls! Hope ur all well, I've not been on for a few days, been a busy week... Just resting now, after taking ds2 to bowling with his friends for his 10th birthday! Absolutely shattered!
36 weeks today, had a scan last week, as they thought she had stopped growing, but all ok, and then was back in for reduced movements on Friday, but think she was just hiding low down...
Been told they don't want me to go over, so next consultant appt is at 39 weeks to discuss induction...
Boys were both couple of days later so never been induced.... But I'm ready for her to be out...
Off to buy epo and raspberry tea capsules tomorrow...
Fingers crossed she come herself xx

Wow u do sound busy! Iv been in a lot with reduced movements and they don't want me.to go past 39 weeks. This is my first baby and I'm a bit worried about induction. I think she turns to my back and then I struggle to feel her and I get very anxious. I believe she is healthy and thinking I might turn down the induction. Mine is booked for the 3rd and I got two sweeps before hand. I got epo they ate 1000mg. Says take one a day but I'm. Wondering if I can up it? Iv got tea though i ran out I will buy more today.

 

[Blueclass]

How is everyone's skin at the min? Iv got lots of spots!

 

[Blueclass]

Have I dropped? My friend said I have but I can't see it. X

My skin is terrible at the moment. I never suffer with spots but my chin is appalling now. Lovely bump and I would say she defiantly dropped. X

Id say you've defiantly dropped blueclass, exciting! 38 + 2 today, very fed up now and know potentially there is a whole while longer, but my back hurts, tummy is aching and I'm so tired!! Sorry for the moan but I want her out now!! After quite painful tightenings and being admitted at 33/34 weeks I thought I would of had her by now!! I also went in on Friday with reduced movements as she hardly moved for 3 days but she was fine and they sent me away, clinic tomorrow so I'll see what they say xx

 

[StephyLou]

Has anyone been asked what they want as a push present? My OH asked the other day and I'd never heard of it, was hoping for some flowers but its there an etiquette to this?

 

[Blueclass]

What's a push present? Ccbunny I can imagine your discomfort and wanting her out. I'm 37+2 and my belly feels sore today at the bottom under my belly button, it's just every now and then. I'm feeling very heavy and uncomfortable esp when I'm sat down under ribs. Baby is moving so much recently and the whole reason for induction was coz she sometimes stops moving. X

 

[Pip52976]

Has anyone else not had extra growth scans? I haven't seen baby since 20 weeks, but everyone I've met or spoken to seems to have had extra ones.

 

[Blueclass]

Generally you don't have any scans after 20 weeks. Iv had them because of reduced movements otherwise I wouldn't of had any more. You would also have them if you was measuring small or big so the fact you haven't means all is going well. Of course it's nice to see them on the scans but it's not nice knowing you may not get good news or for me it was the worrying why I kept thinking she hadn't moved so much. I also went for a private bonding scan x

 

[Maud]

My OH bought me a necklace with my daughter's birthstone in it last time.

This baby has been so quiet this weekend. Got me quite worried earlier today, nearly to the point of calling the hospital! Fortunately this evening they are back to wriggling around and prodding me. They do like to worry us sometimes!

First day of leave tomorrow and I have so much stuff to do I doubt I'll notice I'm not at work!
